White Paper Released on Auto Enrollment in 401k and 403(b) Plans

SOUDERTON, PA, March 9, 2016 -- Automatic enrollment, and automatic deferral escalation, has been getting a lot of attention in the press. It has been hailed as the cure-all to overcome low participation in 401k and 403(b) plans, and legislation over the years has made it more attractive to implement. Despite its acclaim, automatic enrollment can become expensive and problematic for some plan sponsors.

The Paragon Alliance Group, LLC (Paragon), a regional Benefits Consulting and Third Party Administration firm, has developed a new white paper that is designed to provide insight into the pros and cons of auto enrollment, and why it may or may not be suitable for all plan sponsors.

According to Rob Wisner, President of The Paragon Alliance Group, LLC, "In the complex world of retirement planning and regulations there is no one "silver bullet solution." This is why obtaining experienced and detailed consulting is imperative. The consultative process will help decision makers understand the options and implications that enable them to establish goals and create the plan their firm needs. Why does auto enrollment work so well for some and not for others? It depends on the company, their resources, and what they are trying to accomplish. Execution of specific tasks and reporting are required to have the auto features work properly. Negative consequences could develop if the required procedures and communications are not followed. Correction of these technical issues could result in unexpected expenses. With automatic enrollment implementation, coordination between all service providers is critical."

The decision to utilize the automatic enrollment feature should not be taken lightly.
